cheers GF.

More or less qualifies for the Green Shoots thread :)

hi Peter .... hope you had a good christmas ..... will you be UAE in mid/late feb?

IC said sell last Friday.

EK also shorting this one (although he is shorting lots of stocks, some of which do not pay off).

Shorting it at 340p so hes well out of pocket at the moment.

I'm out for now with the gold price fall..I will buy back in 2 weeks time.

i too am out for now, having sold at 420 some time this morning for a small but nevertheless welcome profit

Back to 390p at close thats a lucky escape for me..!

Let me know when you buy in again.

why on earth would you trust anything i do?

i got out at 420 because gold price had dropped quite a lot and POG had had a good run so no immediate reason for it to keep going north

I dont trust anyone cynic.

I think I am correct in saying that POG is run by the father & ORE is run by the son.
Smoke & mirrors spring to mind!!!

Correct Harry.

Down 20p at 360p the market is a bad mood right now .

Bought back in again on the SP of gold rising and looking very strong with currencies looking weak and recession hitting the UK and the rest of the world.

Worth waiting to see what happens with the ORE deal, imo. If ORE shares become POG shares, the ratio will be critical. POG then becomes an iron ore producer, which in today's market is not great news, but when Far Eastern economies pick up again, will stand POG in good stead.

Rising sp of gold should underpin sp for a while not forgetting its one of the lowest cost producers around.
